Garry1603 353 Posted October 23, 2018 Sadly, long time Belle Vue Starting Marshall Peter Morrey has passed away. There was never any messing around at the starts when he was in charge! Belle Vue released the following press release today:- It is with great sadness that we have to report the death of long time Belle Vue Start Marshall Peter Morrey after a short illness. Peter was a member of the Belle Vue track staff from the early 50s where he worked for the infamous Johnnie Hoskins along with older brother Allan, who was Clerk of the Course for over 40 years. He was a tremendous servant to the club and was well respected by all the riders for his calm but firm approach to the many tricks they liked to pull to gain an advantage at the starting gate. Peter died peacefully at his home in Poynton in the early hours of Sunday morning (21st October) surrounded by his close family. Belle Vue Speedway wish to pass on their sincere condolences to the family at this very sad time 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted October 23, 2018 I remember Peter well and it was sad to hear of his death. He and his brother Alan did a lot to help Belle Vue over many, many years. It was good to hear that Peter was able to make a couple of trips to the NSS and that he enjoyed himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
